OF THIRTY-THREE 14 HGLLVWGGD ON REVUE H., MAXINE nrreu ff O you've come home for good from the Methodist cemeterygl-l mean semi- nary. No, it isn't stuttering Tom, it's Hugh Shown clowning his way through the part of Willie Barton, the leading masculine character of the senior class play, The Nut Farm. l'This Iltll farm is a crop of human units vvho go dalfy over the movies, broke when they go nutty, and solemnly make a whole lot of fun out of their tragic experiences. Screen struck boys and ginls are no novelty these days, but Willie Barton and his married sister, Helen Bent, reached their goals by devi- ous paths. Willie had a yen to be a director of Hlm comedies, and his sister Helen, Ruth Ann Iernegan, aspired to become a movie star. W Poor Willie had a dreadful time getting any- one to understand him. Marian Wurz, as Ma Barton, the distracted mother of Helen and Willie, found that life among the quarrels of XVillie, Helen, and Robert, Helen's husband, was not so pleasant as it might have been. ll Harry Castleman, as Biddeford, the writer of the drama, kept the audience in gales of laughter through his suffering with hay fever. Wylie Voorheis, as Ezra Sliscomb, gave a par- ticularly good imitation of an Iowa farmer. At last lim Cone had a chance to strut his Galble features, for he played the part of Van Horten, the actor. His portrayal of this polished gentle- man was quite commendable. Rebecca lireps as Agatha, was delightful in the role of a young girl. Herbert Hermann, as Holland, the slick crook, employed all the characteristics of that suave gentleman to make his part a success. Hugh and Ruth Ann, who had the leading roles in the play, gave superb performances, while' Marian Wurz's interpretation of Ma Barton was very realistic. Robert Zimmerman, the lov- ing husband of Helen, did a stellar bit of acting. Lois Bent took the part of Hilda, the Bents' maid. A particularly amusing scene of the play was the enactment of the drama, Scorching Pas- sion, in the front room of the Bents' home with the entire cast taking part in it. Biddeford and Sliscomb as the Foreign Legion, Ma Barton as the Nautch Dancer, Agatha Sliscomb as the two hundred Bedouirus, and VVillie as the bugle, all contrived to make the tragic scene of liustace and Mollie lost upon the desert a screaming farce. VMiss Lora Duguid, who coached the play, and Helen Clement, promptcr, undoubtedly were responsible for the huge success of the play. Miss Duguid, whose untiring efforts made The Nut Farm a hit play, has also been re- sponsible for 'the senior plays of the last few years. Congratulations, cast, we enioyed the play immensely!
